Quite a fall for a guy who was a first round hopeful out of midget hockey. It's a good chance to take at this spot.Carolina selects Tag Bertuzzi
2nd overall in the OHL draft. Pretty crazy. His dad went through quite a fall himself, but he at least remained a decent NHLer for a few years.Quite a fall for a guy who was a first round hopeful out of midget hockey. It's a good chance to take at this spot.
Damn I thought you guys would forget about him. I'd be very surprised if he fell all the way to the 7th.
With our final pick of the draft, Ottawa is happy to select Michael Gildon!

With the 189th pick, the New Jersey devils are please to select from the Ottawa 67's (OHL), Nikita Okhotyuk (LHD)

To put it simply, we feel incredibly fortunate to be able to pick Nikita this late in the draft. Solidly built and physical by nature, Nikita is the type of defenceman who will keep opponents on their toes should they skate in head down. That said, we recognize his offensive upside is very much a work in progress and despite the lack of offense, there are concerns about his defensive zone control as well. However, we feel Nikita's mobility and physical play is too hard to ignore in this final round of the draft.
@MarkovtoSubban and Detroit are up and PM'd.

What a draft that would be for Ottawa! Good job! Pelletier at 32 is amazing value, especially!
With pick #190 the Detroit Red Wings select G Ethan Haider from the Minnesota Magicians of the NAHL
GM Says "He's a big kid headed to a solid program in Clarkson. He'll probably play there 4 years and then we'll see what we've got."

And now you've done it... Likhachyov is a favorite of mine.With our last pick in this draft, we hesitated between two completely different players from the Q and decided to go with Yaroslav Likhachyov from the Gatineau Olympiques. He's a guy we have been able to watch a lot this year and although he might never put it all together, we feel like he has the offensive skill to be a great player, like he showed at the last Hlinka tournament. His first year in the Q was very disappointing, but he's one of the younger players in this draft and we hope he can take the next step and dominate this league starting next year.
